Bitcoin is on course for its best weekly gain since March, helped by a return of risk appetite in global markets more broadly.

The largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization was up more than 10% for the week so far as of 10:18 a.m. New York time on Friday. It gave up some gains after briefly trading above $22,000, in step with the slump in US equities. The coin is now trading flat at about $21,700.
